The Who?

They were raised by people who came of age during the great depression. They were programmed from a young age to take what they could while they could lest they starve.

pshh, come back when you've got a Platypus Card, kids

haha, get a load of this user: he thought i was being serious when i said platania-zarconia, which i made up, and tried to make a bigger deal about his platypus card when in reality I actually have a Flatimus-Maximus card that neither he nor anyone else here knows about, I bet, because they are not as rich as I. Ahahaha.

I have an infared colored card. Only birds and reptiles can see it.

>diners club
I remember when boomers used to act like they were the shit with these.

Submission for best card

nope, i do and it's not even that big of a deal. you'll be lucky if you can afford even a MOAB with that piece of crap. Me, I have many.

tfw when trying to make a joke and just realized i probably earned myself a spot on a watch list by claiming i have a moab (CIA, I don't. I was kidding. Unless you count the one that I plan to make out of my ass this weekend as I begin Super Colon Cleanse to prepare for my show on the 29th [srs but you probably already knew that])

how did you get that

Gold and Purple truly are the richest of colours

Why do you guys use credit cards? Why not just have a savings account and keep a 5-10k buffer in there?

you just had to qualify but they had notoriously high interest rates and shit. boomers literally thought it was a status symbol and would pay extra to put up with it.

as for getting one, Just did a search, holy fuck, they're still around in this timeline!

I might get one....tempting.

>Why were they such morons
No actual struggle in their whole life

>don't have to carry cash

Because using a credit card gives you credit history, if you pay it off on time you'll get a good credit score and there's always an incentive to use them such as cash back, points, travel insurance or other shit.

I got an mLife Mastercard because you get an automatic upgrade to Pearl status without first having to lose ten grand in MGM slot machines.

It's shit as mLife tiers go, but it does allow me to park free at MGM's Las Vegas properties, which now charge $12 and up just to drive onto their land.

Plus the card has the gangsta vertical orientation and is the first card I've ever seen without raised account numbers.

The choice is obvious.

The top grade is Platinum.

If you go black...Well...You see what happens. I don't gotta tell you guys.

Fucking niggers.

>the (((alt-right)))

How does it feels being butthurt about a group that doesn't even exists?

Unless you misplace it on your desk. Then it's impossible to find the fucking thing.

Pro tip: check into premium rental car insurance through AMEX if the need arises; $20 for the entire rental period. It's primary collision coverage (no liability), not that unusable basic gold card secondary shit. It's not a perfect substitute for the LDW, but since they want up to $27 day for that bullshit, it'll do. Also isolates your regular insurance in case you do damage the rental; they'll never know about it - unless of course there's a liability claim.

I live here and have to park at casinos a lot. Do you have to do any bullshit to keep the pearl free parking status? Like keep a balance or gamble every once in a while? I just go to restaurants and don't want to fucking pay to park

My old man literally washed glad bags and hung them out them on the clothes line. Mum never even saw a banana until the war was over (uk rationing; that may be an exaggeration). He has a credit card of course; never uses it to buy shit. Period. They knew the score though. As a child I heard from mother about the Rothschild and how they owned literally everything, and that was in the sixties. More than 40 years later this stuff is still being exposed as if it's new and esoteric.

How did your autistic dad get laid?

He joined the navy at 16. Lots of opportunities in 1945. Easy to rise through the ranks.

>millennials use stupid emojis all the time

why are they such morons

That's what I am going to find out in a couple of weeks. I have historically had no occasion to park at MGM properties, but want to be able to if I can. I have not yet used the card for anything, then will try it @ Monte Carlo and see whether it works for that. It's the only reason I got it.

I usually split my visits between downtown and the Strip. I might have to start using that card though for the Strip when I'm staying downtown. I'd rather risk driving drunk now than board SDX or Deuce.

Not using iphone (insert number) as status symbol

Just get an Uber my man, it's cheap here.

Also unless you are looking to drop serious dough on a big fancy meal, Downtown and off strip is definitely the place to be.

Also if you are looking to dine/drink on the strip (or anywhere else), you should read my friends book, Eating Las Vegas 2017. He's a food critic and I have a copy, it's EXTREMELY useful. They have it on Amazon I believe

>not buying an expired titanium Amex Black card on eBay and a magnetic strip writer/reader to copy your pleb-card info onto

I might give Uber a try. Seems redundant if I already have a rental, but I don't really relish the idea of getting pulled over, though I have never seen a DUI stop ever in Las Vegas.

I don't do much tourist shit in LV anyway. I go there mostly for the vibe, taking photos and making day trips all over the desert. The city itself is pretty cool to explore too. In that regard, I don't stay at the resorts. If I can get Casino Royale or a suite at Golden Gate for under $80, that's where I stay.

Snapped this one from Venetian last December.

Why not just get 4 normal credit cards and have the same limit?

I also know this is hard for ameriplebs to understand but you can scan your archaic cards with google wallet or apple pay and just pay with your phone now.

I see no point in using those apps but that's just me.
